Website Information
Our website is located at https://5port5.net.

Comment Data Collection
When you comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

We may share an anonymized version of your email address (a hash) with the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media Upload Considerations
We recommend avoiding uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to our website, as visitors can download and extract this information from images.

Cookie Usage
By leaving a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

We use temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts cookies when you visit our login page. These contain no personal data and are discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie in your browser, indicating the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.

Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of follow-up comments.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Data Rights
Account holders and commenters can request an exported file of their personal data or ask for the erasure of their data. This excludes data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
